Medellin Reports

[JjBee62]

A man has a right to spend his $$ the way he wants to. Simple as that!

You're right, but.

If a guy is spending his money in a way that's likely to get him in bad situations, I'll suggest he change his methods. If a guy wants to go into Conejitas and start tossing $20 bills around, I'm either going to try and stop him or get the hell away from him.

I'm not up to speed on economics, but I can't see how 1 person, overpaying slightly 5 to 10 girls is going to raise the rates of 40,000 prepagos.

Absolutely. And members here have a right to offer their thoughts. No one can force you to spend or not spend a certain amount. But they can offer their opinion on what is smart and what is not.

My experience in this hobby has taught me that you don't get a better experience by overpaying. You do, however, open yourself up to risks when you throw around as much money as many locals make in a month.

[Socker]

But I'm never going to criticize people who buy brand new cars and try to make them feel bad because they drop thousands of dollars in value the moment they pull off the lot. It's none of my business.

A better one. Lets say your fellow car buyers are paying more than the asking price. Now the car dealers are going to think the asking price is too low. So your competition is unintentionally jacking up the prices.

That's what this whole topic is about. Guys are giving more than is asked or are ignorant of the going rates. That's what this board is for: to find out the who, what, where and how much.

Guys that throw money around without regard to the local market will eventually reck it. Over tipping is a different matter but can also kill the fun of others. Usually when you over tip the girl they will say nothing or a simple thank you. This is because they think you made a mistake w / the local currency and don't want to alert you to it. Over tipping is stupid but we all do it (at times) because we get too happy I guess.

There should be unity about this. You want high end, go high end. You want to bottom fish you know where to go.

It happens.

Who is paying 200 USD for a short time?

[Tiny 12]

I've been a long time member. I don't contribute much because I don't agree with the mainstream philosophy and self-rigtheousness often found. Many members are intolerant that other members think differently. I am not a professional monger nor do I want to be. There is no judgment intended in that remark. To each his own. I started my post with stating that I was posting hesitatingly. I knew there would be criticism. In the future, I'll just lurk. This is my last negative remark, it's not worth it. I am enjoying myself and spending my kajillions of dollars (I wish!) and the rest of the world be damned, haha.

Don't lurk, just ignore the criticism from the know-it-all's and the bottom feeders. 400 K is reasonable for multi hours or overnight with a low mileage semi-girlfriend hottie, like you might find on SA.

P.S. Nothing against bottom feeders, I used to be one myself. Anyone regardless of spending habits should feel comfortable posting here. Except for trannie lovers.

400 k for all night isn't so bad. Assuming the hourly rate is 150 k to 200 k (outside of Centro) then it seems fine to me.

That being said, you are right that it's quite a lot for Colombians. The ones who are over paying are paying 200 USD for short time. That's insane. Like paying 50 bucks for a one way subway ride.

Who is paying 200 USD for a short time?

[MjTravelLove]

You really do not get it, not all people want and value things as you do.

Not all mongers want the cheapest hooker with the highest dick mileage. Honestly, you are wasting your money. Who the fuck wants to spend his vacation in a dangerous ghetto / shithole fucking ratchet working girls?

Completely agree, mate! My best experiences always come from ladies who charge sliiiiiightly more than the cheapest of the bunch, but spend all night getting it on in as many ways as possible. Party, play, etc. For that, you need to do more than drop 20 USD for a 20 minute session.

To each their own, but I just wanted to back you up and say that the person who said you are ruining anything is nothing but a jacka $$.

I think people have to know most of us are on vacation in a foreign country. Even if we pay 200 $ for an all nighter that's insanely cheaper than the US and we get to do this with a really hot Latina. And even if the girls get spoiled for that one or 2 clients it's not like we live there to really change anything.

[Knowledge]

I agree 100% with everything you said. It's true that you would have paid much more than you did in the US, but I don't think that is justification for what anyone pays in Colombia or any other country. In all honesty I don't think what 1 or 100 guys pay will move the market in a way cheapskates like me would notice. Does anybody here really believe no one else has ever paid 400 k or much more? Of course not, and the going rate has not moved very much in recent years.

I guess I'm a weirdo. It doesn't make any difference to me what anyone else pays as long as the brother is paying with full knowledge of market rates. As I mentioned, I'm a cheapskate so if I really believed girls collecting half a million pesos via seeking arrangement would increase my costs I'm pretty sure I would try to prevent it. I just don't understand the mentality of going in on a guy because I don't want to pay as much as he does. Looking at it another way, I can afford a brand new car just like I can afford to pay European or US rates for girls anywhere in the world. I don't do either. Using the car example, I go for off lease vehicles with low mileage and a year or more of warranty left so I don't pay the 30% depreciation. But I'm never going to criticize people who buy brand new cars and try to make them feel bad because they drop thousands of dollars in value the moment they pull off the lot. It's none of my business.

I know I said I was going to shut up after my last post, but I feel I need to say this. I've been on the site long enough and see the same argument. Overpaying is ruining it for everyone. I think that's baloney. That's like saying that people that tip 25% or more in US restaurants ruin it for everyone. Plus a kajillion similar examples.

Frankly, I don't follow the going rates like I do my 401 k. I paid what I think is reasonable and fair, but I digress. I don't read ISG often and why should I have to? Disagree or no, I pay what I believe is fair. I still paid a fraction of what I would have paid in the US. One hour with any of the women I went out with would cost over $300 for one hour..

[Knowledge]

I am confused why you thought you would be opening yourself for criticism. I don't think you paid an above average amount for seeking arrangement dates. Lots of guys avoid the casas and the gringo inn. You are enjoying yourself enough to extend your stay so I grade what you are doing as A+.

I'm half way through my trip and I am hesitatingly writing a bit of a report. I hesitate because I doubt most of the membership here will relate and I'm probably leaving myself open to unwanted criticism. My motivations and goals in visiting Medellin are seemingly different. But not entirely. Different, not better or worse.

Let me briefly explain. My priority when I vacation is to sightsee, have adventure and get to know the culture. Women are not the priority, but I like to indulge. I also like an emotional connection, not just a wam bang thank you ma'am. I would never go to a house or the Mansion or anything like that. To each his own, and that's just not me. I think these things set me apart from most others here, though perhaps some of you can relate.

The original plan was to stay a week. I extended that to 2 more weeks. I'm here 8 days now. The first 5 days were spent at an Airbnb in Poblado, Soul Lifestyle Apartments. I don't recommend it. The apartment wasn't totally up to snuff and the host, or should I say super host, was less than accommodating. The building itself is nice and management there is very helpful. It's basically an 80 apartment building geared to being a hotel with a few independent owners, like the one I had. I'm not here to write an apartment review but I'll be happy to answer any questions. I also wrote a review on the Airbnb site..

[Eszpresszo]

You will be fine. Just be prepared to pay gorngo prices.

I did not have that problem. Then again, I went into places where the prices are set based on time, and in the case of Energy, are actually posted online. I never made it to El Poblado, either. What freelancers charge the tourist is a different story, and I'm sure there are those who will spend like a gringo, and be taken advantage of.

The only time I had anyone try to take advantage of me (that I know of) was at the cafe opposite my hotel on "La Setenta". On the second morning I was there, I had to remind the waiter that the same breakfast he just served me, cost me 3000 k less the day before. He adjusted the tab accordingly. The previous morning, in the same cafe, I handed some cash to the waitress and walked out. She ran outside after me to give me back my change, unaware that it was meant as a propina. Don't expect that to happen in the DR!

Disagree or no, I pay what I believe is fair. I still paid a fraction of what I would have paid in the US. One hour with any of the women I went out with would cost over $300 for one hour. And I got a lot more time than that. It was all GFE, something hard to come by in the US. I also said 400 k was the most I paid. We all have a lot more money compared to the local population and we are all rich in their eyes. I don't believe bragging about how little one is able to pay is particularly compassionate.

I could go on. It's my money. One or a dozen people are not going to change the economics by paying more than what others pay. And if it does, maybe the economics should be changed. It's like giving the waiter more than the standard tip is not going to change things, but if it does, maybe Adam Smith meant that to be. To get angry at someone because you (and I don't mean you personally Mr. E) think he's paying too much and ruining things is silly.

That's an opinion and I know many, if not most of you disagree with it, But I am entitled to my opinion.

I totally agree with you. You make it you spend it.

I think most of your disgruntled price and tip control people have always been the back at the end of the line people. Afraid they might miss out and blame it on others. The only one making them miss out out is the man in the mirror.

Take care and happy pooning your way sir!

I understand that you don't care what I think, and of course you may spend your money how you please. But there are other mongers that may want to come to Colombia and not get ripped off. So consider my response for them. Not sure why people get offended when another monger tries to pull his coat tail. I thought that is what the board was for.

Hey,

I feel the same way pretty much, I hate Poblado with a passion and do not like the impersonal Casa line up choosing, even less so at Energy where you pick them out by the number they wear.

I did SeekingArrangements also my 1st trip but those girls are mostly dealing with foreigners so they have a inflated price.

I find the strip clubs fun, you can sit and talk or drink with a bunch of girls to pick one who seems both cool and sexy. And then try them on site 1st to see how you click, $28 to $65 ish from the Centro clubs to Fase II. Then if you like her get her number and WhatsApp a date for the next day / night.

I even like the Centro redlight blocks more then the Casa's, I can chat with the girl a bit and do a attitude check, they will be $10 to $20 for a test ride and much cheaper then SA girls to come see you at your hotel.
